Tried it and it worked fine.  But see my other post regarding the need 
for sequentially numbered parts in order for it to get them in order.

(I guess a corrolary area of curiosity is whether 
copy /b filename.003 + filename.001 + filename.002 filename.exe
would get the files in order. That is, what internal test is done, if 
any, to insure the parts are combined properly.)
